CORD-HOLDER FO MILTON, INDIANA.

R GRAlN-BINDERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,056, dated March 17, 1885.

Application tiled October 22, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, NOAH T. REMY, a citizen of the United States,and aresident of Milton, in the county of WVayne and State of Indiana, have invented acertainnew and useful Improvement in Twine-Holders for Grain- Binders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in cord-holders for grain-binders which are designed especially to be used in con neetion with the binder mechanism shown in Letters Pat ent granted J. F. Appleby, February 18, 187%), No. 212,420, with the various modifications thereof in general use, and being improvements thereon, all of which will be fully explained in the description of the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 represents a bottom view of my improved twine-holder. Fig. 2 is an edge View of the shoe portion thereof. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation, and Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the entire holder.

The letter A designates a twineholdor disk mounted on a shaft and revolving in a plane at right angles to the path of the binder-arm. in the usual manner. This disk is employed in the Appleby binders in general use.

a represents notches cut in the periphery of disk A, into which notches the cord or twine is successively placed by the needle and tucking mechanism, and between which notches and the shoe it is gripped while being drawn around a bundle while the knot is being tied and the string being cut oil.

B represents a spring twine-holden shoe p rovidedwith flanges b c, which are of asuiiicient and between which flanges the disk A and the twine are carried when the disk A is revolved.

D represents a spring which holds the shoe B against the notched disk A. A hole, e, is pierced in the shank of the shoe for pivoting it in the usual manner.

0 represents the ratchet, which is rigidly secured to the disk A in the ordinary manner. In Fig. 1 is shown the position of the parts when the twine has been placed in the notch a of the disk A ready for the movement of the disk A to carry the twine forward in position which has been out off in binding a previous bundle.

Fig. 4 represents the position of the disk A and the cord in the position in which the cord is held when the knot is being tied or drawn taut and twine cut oft.

It has been customary to make the flanges I) c of equal length; but a great difliculty has been experienced in the use of such flanges on the shoe, as the cut end of the cord is jammed in between the flanges of the shoe. I have discovered that by cutting away the metal or flange c a snllicient distance in rear of the point 1 the end i of the twine would be easily dis charged and all of the difliculty hitherto experienced ei'lieiently obviated. The amount of metal cutoll' from thellangeodcpcnds upon the size of the notch a and the size of the cord 71. Itshould, however, be cutawaysufliciently to be in the rear of the point lot notch (6. (Shown in Fig. 1.) The shape of theslopi ngor cut-away ol' the flange c is not material provided it is suflicient to allow the cord to pass out of the end of the shoe without jamming against the flange a when it is in position for discharging the end When the flange c is beveled off in this manner, no adjustment of the spring D is required in the use of the improved cord-holder with dill'erent thicknesses or sizes of twine.

I claim- 1. In a cord-holder for graiirbinders, the combination of the rotary disk with the shoe havingflanges to embrace the edge of the disk, the flange on the side of the disk away from the knotter being cut away at its rear end, substantially as described.

2. In a cord-holder for grain-binders, the combination of the notched rotary disk with the grooved or flanged shoe, the flanges of which straddle or embrace the edge of the disk, and the flange on the side of the disk away from the knotter cut away at its rear end, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
